Icarus Was Ridiculous

The ninth in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers.

Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!

Izzy LOVES all the stories the Ancient Greeks told! She can't wait to tell her friends about Icarus, who was a TOTAL NUMPTY, and the Trojan Horse, which ended a war and wasn't even REAL!

So pull up a plinth and enjoy all the DRAMA of the original Greek myths, as told by Pamela Butchart and Thomas Flintham, in collaboration with the British Museum. Now with even more SANDALS!

"I can't think of a better, breezier way to introduce your children to these classic stories" - Frank Cottrell Boyce

Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

Praise for Izzy and friends:

"Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham's zany pictures make the series an absolute must." - The Bookseller

"Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers." - Sunday Times
